Sarojini Naidu: Love as Passion and Ecstasy

Sarojini's love lyrics are the expressions of physical innocent love with manifold joys and sorrows. These love lyrics are inspired by human passion. English lyricists of later sixteenth century introduced lovers as poets in their poems. It was love that stirred their vital creative chords. Like them, Sarojini weaves autobiographical motif in her love poems. She had fallen in love at the threshold of her youth. Small wonder she seeks to express new symphonies of the music of life and her own story of love in her poetry. She is in love with dreams, stars, colours and life itself.
